(sorry to be off-topic)
but does anyone know of a (free) pool manager on the net that doesn´t use the idiotic scoring system of ESPN (same number of points for correctly picking Duke and for correctly picking Monmouth? What a joke!) Same number of points for picking every first-round game right (maybe 10 people per year) as picking all final 4 teams correctly (hundreds of thousands of people every year)??!?!
There´s gotta be somewhere that takes into account odds, or seeds/rounds, in the scoring, in an intelligent manner. Any suggestions? (not cbs...)

thanks!

I know of many friends (and foes alike) that use a modified scoring system based on what round the game was played and the seeding of each team. I am not familiar with any major sites that employ such a system so I can not be of help in that area.

I would imagine there would be some other sites that have a better answer for what you are seeking.

Good luck.
